Abstract

Self-diffusion coefficients have been measured for water, nitromethane, acetone, benzene, cyclohexane, isopentane, and neopentane. Temperature and pressure dependences have been determined for nitromethane, acetone, cyclohexane, and isopentane. The temperature dependence has been determined for neopentane and the pressure dependence has been determined for water and benzene. The results are discussed in terms of a semiempirical theory for transport in liquids and it is shown that semiquantitative predictions of self-diffusion, viscosity, and thermal conductivity coefficients can be made.
